2 Lakeway Drive, Information RESPONSE March 2022
Attention: Lisa Plenaar Dear Sir/Madam Please find attached the Information Request in relation to: Application NO. MCU21/0041 Street address: 2 Lakeway Drive, Cooroibah Qld 4565 Real Property Description: Lot 1 RP 107647 Planning Scheme: Noosa Plan 2020 (25 September 2020) As you aware, we have spent a great deal of time, in an attempt to reduce the environmental impact of our proposed dwelling. In particular 8 months has been spent in negotiation with Unity Water in an attempt to gain connection to the sewerage system. Following our denied access to the sewerage system by Unity Water, we have developed a third design for the disposal of effluent. This system is further away from the lake and includes a pump system. It is an environmentally friendly AES system. Whilst the original septic design required the removal of 4 Eucalyptus territicornus trees, the latest proposed site requires the removal of 1 Melaleuca leucadendra only. Please find attached the original arborist’s report which included positioning of the driveway, house and proposed septic system. The originally proposed septic has now been moved to a new position, which has allowed us to reduce impact. Also attached is a revised report of the trees that will now be impacted. Also attached are the design for the house, pool and septic system. Please see below the response to your Information Request.

The size of the driveway has been reduced to minimize any environmental impact. The position of the driveway is unchanged to the driveway that is currently in use. The new driveway will be gravel and require an additional branch to the house that will be approximately 10 metres. This does not require removal of any vegetation. As per the arborists report, this does not impact on any existing vegetation. The size of the pool has been reduced by 5 metres in length. Please see arborists report. The proposed position of the pool and house are on previously cleared, open wooded grassland. The house is being positioned in a precleared, relatively flat part of the property. We have designed a 2 story, split level house that fits with the topography of the land, to minimize cutting and filling. The anticipated excavation will be less than 600mm and this will have no impact on the existing retained vegetation. As per the amended arborists report (see attached) the building and pool construction will require the removal of one Eucalyptus territicornus and three Melaleuca leucadendra only. The newly positioned septic no longer requires the removal of the four Eucalyptus territicornus. Only one Melaleuca leucadendra will now need to be removed.

Following the completion of the construction process, we plan to revegetate with native plant species to enhance the overall habitat. As previously noted, the area of the dwelling, driveway, shed and effluent disposal is on previously cleared land. We would describe the land as open wooded grassland. A total of 5 trees will need removal for the effluent disposal, pool and dwelling. No tree removal is required for the driveway and the preexisting shed. Please see our adjusted arborist and house plan that are attached. As per the above information. The house has been designed as a split level to decrease the need for extensive cutting and filling. We estimate that cut and fill will be no more than 600mm. The entire project will require the removal of 5 trees only – one for the effluent disposal system and four for the house dwelling and access to it. We do not believe there will be any impact upon the retained vegetation within the site. According to our discussions with the arborist, the fill will have no impact on the root zone of the retained nearby trees. We hope this provides you with all of the information that you have requested.
